It might be more authentic to use the actual NES' color palette which is documented here:

Please note that there are dozens of interpretations of the NES color palette.

Internally, the NES colors are just hex values between 00-3F, but the output is RGB analog. @drzaiusx11, which version did you share?

I recommend creating a sass file like palette.scss where you define the colors like this:

$00: #666666 !default;
$01: #002A88 !default;
$02: #1412A7 !default;
...etc
$3E: #000000 !default;
$3F: #000000 !default;

This way the palette could be overridden.

To demonstrate how varied the NES palette can be, see FirebrandX's obsessive NES color palette experiments.

The default color palette you choose for this project will depend on what type of look you want. For example, the NES Classic color palette is dull and muted, while YUV is bright and colorful.

Given the 16 examples from the first link picking one of those would be a good first step (stored as variables.)

I find the NES Classic pallette to be pretty vibrant whereas the VC Normalized is dull/muted.
